GMA is also cooking up a weekly musical, variety, and comedy show for the Songbird. “I think may mga gags, may mga skits… Du’n mo naman makikita ’yung side ko na nakakatawa,” she said.

Regine maintained she will be involved in the creative process for her upcoming shows.

“Being in the business for a long time, minsan mahirap ’yung shina-shut off ka na parang, ‘Mas alam namin ’to.’ Pero sila (GMA) they give me the opportunity to be involved, to be heard. Kung maganda ’yung suggestion they make sure that it’s incorporated in the story,” she said.

Aside from her upcoming Kapuso shows, Regine is also busy preparing for an upcoming pre-Valentine’s Day concert titled “Royals” alongside Martin Nievera, Erik Santos, and Angeline Quinto at the Mall of Asia Arena on Feb. 13.

She is also in the process of signing a record deal, which she hopes will lead to her cutting an all-original album.

In the meantime, her cooking and lifestyle talk show “Sarap Diva” still airs every Saturdays on GMA-7.

Regine has no plans of gracing the big screen though.

“Kung gagawa man ako ng pelikula, it has to be something na medyo interesado talaga ako. It’s more on (finding) the right project that will make me do another movie,” she explained. (MNS)
